I should have just renamed this week as bandwagon week right? ;)
I'm back with another much hyped product in the blogosphere - the highly elusive Maybelline Colour Tattoo Eye Shadows! I *FINALLY* managed to pick up the shades I wanted. They'd been right under my nose in my local Boots whilst I'd been looking all over the place for them. I managed to pick up 3 whilst the 3 for 2 offer was on.

Immortal Charcoal
Out of the three Colour Tattoo Shadows that I own this is the weakest in terms of pigmentation. I had to swatch it heavily in the photos below. It's a lovely shade though, but one I use more as a base rather than a standalone shadow.
Permanent Taupe
This was a shade I was going to give a miss until I read that it could be used to fill in brows. Unfortunately it's too ashy on me for that. Had it been a shade or two darker without the grey tones to it, it'd work a treat. I've been using this as a liner for my lazy days when I wanted a bit of colour and definition but couldn't really be bothered to make too much of an effort. 6am starts will do that to you. This is certainly the creamier of the Colour Tattoo Shadows and gives a very opaque finish. This also works well as a base for taupe shadows that need something to stick to for a better colour pay off.
On and on Bronze
This is my undoubtable favourite out of the three, and a bit of a must have. It has brilliant pigmentation and opacity with a gorgeous finish. This works perfectly on its own. I've been using this over a dab of Urban Decay's Primer Potion and it's stayed in place all day. No smudging, no moving, and absolutely 100% no creasing! I haven't worn it for 24 hours, but this is the most long lasting cream shadow I own. The only other shadow I own that can boast no creasing is my Chanel Illusion D'Ombre. And they're pricey in the grand scheme of all things eye shadow. So well done Maybelline, you've created a winner.

Thank you :) That really means a lot. Will do, thanks for leaving your link xx
DeleteI finally grabbed one of these in the "on and on bronze" shade, simply because it was the only one left in Boots! I agree with you that it's really pigmented. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI hope they bring more colours to the range :D xx
On and on bronze is my favourite, I've gotten a lot of wear out of it! And the best thing is it looks great with just mascara! They seem to have a whole heap more colours in the US. Wish they'd bring them out here xx
